The Creighton men's basketball team spent eight weeks in the top-10, defeated four ranked teams, returned to the BIG EAST Tournament championship game and played in the NCAA Tournament during the 2016-17 season.
The Bluejays entered the season ranked 22nd nationally in the Associated Press poll, but a red-hot start quickly catapulted CU back among the nation's elite. Put to the test on a national stage for the first time, Creighton handled No. 9 Wisconsin in the second game of the season, then went to the U.S. Virgin Islands and won the Paradise Jam with victories over Washington State, North Carolina State and Ole Miss.
